On April 15th Conservatives will be teabagging around the country in protest of Government spending, or protest President Obama, we're not sure what they mean yet. These gatherings are being sponsored by the Fair and Balanced Fox News (really?) , Americans for Prosperity, and the Free Republic among other Conservative backed groups. Ok, protesting has long been socially acceptable in our country. Liberal groups have in recent years diligently protested the war in Iraq, illegal wiretapping, and fraudulent elections. That said, we knew what we were doing, and had the common sense to not "Tea Bag" the White House. In recent days progressive and liberal pundits and bloggers have had a good laugh over signs like "I want to tea bag Obama" and "Tea Bag Liberal Dems..." like you see pictured. However, according to the urban dictionary, the act of tea bagging is...well follow the link. I will admit, gathering in protest for a cause with likeminded people is educating and insightful as we share ideas, but this is wrong on so many levels. Here is Rachel Maddow and Ana Marie Cox trying to keep a straight face.
And the ladies of Sex in the City for a refresher.
